Sustainability is important to all of us in the present climate, and it is a theme which features heavily in the latest issue of Platinum Metals Review, the quarterly journal of research on the science and technology of the platinum group metals published by Johnson Matthey.

In the new issue, an article by Dr Gavin M. Mudd of Monash University, Australia, focuses on the sustainability reporting metrics of the pgm mining industry and what the industry is doing to address global energy, water and environmental considerations.

Later in the issue, an article by Dr Christian Hagelüken of Umicore AG & Co KG, Germany, discusses the European recycling situation with regards to recovering the value inherent in the pgms.

New pgm technologies which will address our future energy needs also feature in the latest issue, with a conference review covering artificial photosynthesis using pgm-containing complexes to capture the energy in sunlight.

PGMs also contribute to the health and wellbeing of individuals and society, nowhere more so than in the field of emissions control. The issue’s Final Analysis article looks at opportunities for pgms in future emissions control technology.
